I've found that if i use the record "name" command, that my gameplay seems a little bogged down. To answer this i downloaded a free screen capture utility that some of you may know as FRAPS. http://fraps.com
This bogged my system even more considerably.
Any tips?_________________ _n0rm

In both case your CPU charge, RAM and HDD access will be heavy.
Nothing to do except getting a better CPU that can handle the game and recording in same time._________________Allez allez, enlève ta culotte et déboutonne mon pantalon...

the problem with fraps is that you have to play with low fps. and lowfps=low skill. you can test it by playing normal first, then with fraps. you´ll notice a big difference. at least for me there is._________________

Okay, here is my plan:
I have an AMD64, so i'll grab an X2. I will buy fraps so i don't have to keep hitting the screen record button. I will record what I want to record with the console command, then play it back and record it with fraps. Then i will photoshop naked pictures into it, burn it to a DVD and leave copies laying around public functions. You guys may or may not get the naked versions_________________ _n0rm

I record hl2dm ingame using the console then playback and record with "fraps".
Then convert the video with "CyberLink PowerDirector" to "MPEG-2 HD 720p", to lower file size alot and quality is nearly lossless.
This way works best for me and how I like it.

Only problem with fraps is that it eats your hard drive space fast. (but quality very good)
I think about 11mins is just over 20GB for max settings 60fps etc.
